5 Years Old!!!

Drew is 5 years old!! That just makes us feel older.

We had a great day at the Virginia Air and Space Center for Drew's birthday party this past weekend. His birthday was actually last Monday, but we had his party on Sunday so more people could come. The party was great and had a science "lesson" on electricity and everyone got to ride the "Magic Carpet" motion simulator as well as explore the Air and Space Museum.


The birthday boy doing what he loves to do best...eat cake!




Drew with Parish "The Electricity Guy" lighting-up a light-bulb using a device that neither Kristin nor I can remember the name of. Young Padi-Wan was using the "Force" to light-up the light bulb. But Drew thinks he has already progressed from Padi-Wan to Jedi Knight.

Okay, so for the first real post I guess I'll talk about PCS time. Many of you who will read this are Army families or are members of our close family so I don't need to elaborate on the PCS thing. We'll be PCS'ing to New Jersey this summer to a little known place called Picatinny Arsenal. I didn't know where it was either until I got the map out prior to selecting it as one of my choices for a new duty station. Overall, it looks nice. Most people hear we are going to Jersey and say "eeew" or "why are you moving there" or when they here Picatinny they say " uhhh where?" So we'll be headed ther after I complete my Masters this summer for me to work on an Army new howitzer program.

Point of this being, if anyone knows anyone in northwest New Jersey, send them our way with information a plenty. We'll need it!
